The Dylan Thomas Boathouse

The great Welsh writer, Dylan Thomas, moved to Laugharne after his marriage to Caitlin Macnamara in 1937. Friends purchased the old boathouse for the couple where they lived, on and off, until the poet's death. His children were born in Laugharne but violent rows with Caitlin provoked his frequent departures. It was not until 1949, only four years before his death, that he genuinely settled in Laugharne, the place where he is buried. The house, with the Thomas family's original furnishings and memorabilia, is now a heritage center with audio-visual exhibitions, a bookshop and tea room.
